I'm regex'd out of it at the moment.
Given a string like this:
lynn:*:3000002some other stuff100hellolynn:
Is there a way to get the 3000002 into a variable v1 and the 100 into 
a variable v2? bash? Any recommended starting point?
Thanks,

Thinking out loud:
v1="lynn:*:3000002some other stuff100hellolynn:";echo "${v1//[!0-9]}"
gives:
3000002100

But I may have:
lynn2:*:3000002some other stuff100hellolynn:
which gives:
23000002100

How to select only the 3000002
Thanks
